Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is scientifically validated as important for dental and periodontal health, primarily through its role in calcium and phosphate metabolism. These minerals are essential for maintaining the structural integrity of bones and teeth. Inadequate vitamin D levels can lead to decreased calcium absorption, resulting in bone loss, including the alveolar bone that supports teeth, which can contribute to tooth mobility or looseness. Several observational studies have found correlations between low vitamin D status and increased risk of periodontitis, tooth loss, and reduced tooth retention in older adults. Clinical trials have shown that vitamin D supplementation, especially when combined with calcium, can reduce bone loss and may help stabilize periodontal status in certain populations. However, direct, large-scale evidence specifically addressing vitamin D3 supplementation as a treatment for loose teeth in the absence of systemic deficiency is limited. Most guidelines recommend vitamin D sufficiency as part of periodontal therapy, particularly in at-risk groups (elderly, postmenopausal women, those with osteoporosis, or individuals with documented deficiency). In summary, while vitamin D3 is not a standalone cure for loose teeth, scientific evidence supports its role in maintaining the bone and periodontal health necessary for tooth stability, justifying its use as a supportive measure in dental care.
